Default Car pulls to the left @ WOT..

Does this mean my rear is going?? It's and odd feeling, when I get on it (regardless of speed, but more prominent under 45mph), the front end pulls over to the left. I can feel it coming from the rear, kind of like one of my axle tubes are pointing to the left when I get on it.

It's been aligned too, I don't think that's the problem...

Thrust angle, that's the term! It feels like that angle changes when it squats.

Ideas? LCA's??

Rear SUSP info;
Hotchkis Poly LCA's
BMR Chromoly ADJ TQ arm
BMR Chromoly PHB
Eibach Prokit w/ heater hose on rear, 1 wrap.
Bilstein shocks
chopped bumpstops 1/2"

I'd be looking at LCA bushings and bolt-holes, my old
beater used to pull like that (and pull the other way
on braking) because all the bushings were shot (some
just riding metal-to-metal).

^ It may be time for new LCA's.. I've had these in the car for going on 6 years now. Was my first MOD when I bought it.

i have LCA and my car still pulls left on hard launches, from what i hear from the GTO guys, adding air bags helps adjust for the best launch.

^ may it been from the slight increase of power due to the dyno tune? -It's been since then, a week on friday.

I have to agree with some of the other posters. Check your lca bushings, if they are worn or busted this will cause what you are experiencing.

could it be that the rearend isn't centered? I see that you have the adjustable phb. Did you check to make sure that it is correctly centered?
